To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FREDERICK JMQQRE, a citizen of the, United States, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have.invented certain new and useful Improvements in Automobile Heating Devices; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to automobile heating devices adapted to divert the li hter and cleaner exhaust gases from interna combustion engines to suitably constructed radiators.

Referring to the-drawings wherein the same figures of reference indicate like parts throughout the several viewszFigure 1'. rep-- resents a broken side elevation of the device,

- and broken view of the exhaust pipe Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the device lookin V in the direction of arrow or with the hea of thedrum' removed; and Fig. 3 is a broken view partly in section oftthe drum, plan.

and supporting shafttherefor.

1 is a metal shell or body havingthe re movable heads 2 and? Into ral with theheads are the interiorly threa ed nipples 4 and 5 adapted to be attached to the exhaust pipe 6. -The shell is set 1I1l30' the exhaust pipe at any convenient place between the engine and muflier (not shown),'the arrow y .11 indicating the direction of the exhaust as from the engine, and arrow 0 to the mu er. Theradiator pipe 7 is adapted tobe connected with a pipe, (not shown) leading to a radiator (not shown) located at any convenient' place in an automobile. The gas entering port (not shown) in the nipple 4 and the gas discharging port 8, F ig.. 2, in

the nipple 5, are located nearthe bottom of the shell, so that the heavier gases will readily pass through the shell to the mufiier,

while the lighter and more volatile gases will pass into the radiator. These ports are also located at onesi'de of the center of the shell and in line with each other. to not only enable the heavier gases to escape freely,

but also to permit the incoming gas to rotate the blades 9 by impinging against; one of said blades at one side of its axis of rotac0111 Thesejb1 ades' re, a ain an;

Integral wit-h this sleeveisgt evalve that portion of thepipe 7 ;projecting into 14 is a port in the valve, disk adapted to 1. 13 rotatably situated at. theljhrier. e nd of register with the open mouth,ofthepipej; i

The outerportion ofjthe ,.rod-,].6,; is bent atright angles and carries at, its;-free end the weight 17 by which this darhper' valve'is kept normally closed, Fig, 2, or the same can be held oper"1,""as at Fig. 1, by meansof the wire 18, Fi 2, leading to some place within the automo ile and convenient to its occupants. The blades are so placed with respect to the inoominggas that they will rotate continuously, but the port 14 of I the valve disk 13 will only register with the pipe 7 at each revolution or rotation of the valve. The advantage of this single valve port is that said port will only register periodically with the pipe, and the time of reg- .istering will be so short that none-but the lighter and more volatile gases will have an opportunity to pass through this port, while the heavier gases will more readily follow alon the line of least resistance into the mu er. It will readily be seen that the Shell or body and its internal mechanism will not materially interfere with the back pressure.

Minor changes could be made in the construction of the device without departingfrom the spirit of my invention. VVhileI show the blades, sleeve and valve of one piece, the valve could be made attachable tobest suited to hold the required valve mechanism;

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is:

1. A device-of the character described, comprising a shell having inlet and outlet ports located at one side of its axis and adapted to register with the exhaust pipe of an internal combustion engine, rotatable blades located within the shell and in line with the ports thereof, a radiator pipe projecting into the shell, and a valve carried by the blades having a port adapted to re ister with the mouth of the radiator pipe at eachrotation of theblades.

2. A device of the character described, comprising a shell having closed ends with a gas inlet port in one of said ends and a gas outlet port in the opposite end, said ports located at one side of the axis of the shell and adapted to register with the eX- haust pipe of an internal combustion engine, rotatable blades located Within the shell and in line with the ports in the ends thereof, a radiator pipe projecting into the shell, and a valve carried by the blades and having a port adapted to register with the mouth of said pipe at each rotation of the blades.

3. A device of the character described, comprising a shell having closed ends With ports therein adapted to register with the exhaustpipe of an internal combustion engine and located at one side of the axis of the shell, a radiator pipe projecting into the shell, a sleeve, a transversely located shaft on which the sleeve is journaled, blades radiating from the sleeve and integral therewith, and in line with the ports in the ends of the shell, and a valve disk integral withthe sleeve having a port adapted to register with the mouth of the radiator pipe at each rotation of the blades.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
